Member Rating:  
In this horror outing, a seemingly abandoned desert gas station turns out to be a grotesque museum filled with murderous mannequins who come to life when visitors come to call. The ill-fated "guests" are lured in by a strange siren's song. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

"Say hello to my friend!" I love it! The music is creepy, the lines could be repeated and remembered the rest of your life, and the acting is humorous! Awesome plot, and the filming keeps you going! The mannequins are SO CREEPY and will make you think twice when you walk by one in a store. RENT IT! You won't be sorry!

Absolutely perfect 80's era slasher film!! Just couldn't ask for more. Now, you have to appreciate this genre to enjoy this movie - it's not for everyone (my husband, for example). Don't know what else to say....PERFECT!

Highly recommended! I've loved this movie since I first watched it on a late night horror movie fest. This is a classic. It is witty through the plot and music. Its down right creepy, too. I would love to see a movie like this "remade" as compared to the other ones already out or in production. This is a must-see for horror movie enthusiasts. Scared of mannequins? Well, you will be after seeing this movie!

Tourist Trap, I had heard about this movie for sometime so when I ran across it in a store I bought it right away and raced home to watch it. You'll never look at a manequinn the same again, I promise you that! This was a different under rated horror film that was obviously a classic instantly! If you like older horror films this one is a rare classic you must see!

Kind of a mix of the new House of Wax and Texas Chainsaw Massacre (w/o the chainsaw). The movie created a very creepy atmosphere with mannequins that are manipulated by a sick in the head hillbilly with telekinetic powers that likes to wears plaster masks that look feminine. Could have used a bit more gore, but very good flick and worth the watch.

I liked this movie because I saw it as a kid and it scared me. Of course I was like 8 years old. But for years I was afraid of mannequins. I kept trying to remember what movie that one scene with the wax comes from. I was so glad when I finally found it! It gives you that Friday night 80's slasher movie feel.

If you were scared of mannequin's as a kid like i was growing up this is not the movie for you. It's just flat out freaky when a big doll w- crazy looks stares you down & you have that funny feeling like you know your being watched. It just dosen't feel right. Freaky as @#$%!!

Stupid Stupid Stupid. Horrible acting and crappy amateur effects. Plaster applied to a girls face actually looked like pizza dough and the mannequins didnt do anything but shake around.Waste of time. I rented this one based on the reviews----everybody lied about this one or the reviewers were all on drugs.
